Sending images to Android in Messages

I upgraded all of my MacOS (Ventura 13.4) and iOS to the latest versions and now cannot send an image to an android contact using Messages. None of my Macbook nor iPad nor iPhone will send an image...but all will send texts ok.

MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)

Hi Staynavytom,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're unable to send text with images to Android users. This article has some relevant steps that may help even though they are for a slightly different issue: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.


  • "Try to restart your iPhone or iPad.
  • Check your network connection. To send a message as iMessage or MMS, you need a cellular data or Wi-Fi connection. To send an SMS message, you need cellular network connection. If you turn on Wi-Fi Calling, you can send SMS messages over Wi-Fi.
  • Check with your carrier to see if the type of message you’re trying to send, like MMS or SMS, is supported.
  • If you’re trying to send group MMS messages on an iPhone, go to Settings > Messages and turn on MMS Messaging. If you don't see an option to turn on MMS Messaging or Group Messaging on your iPhone, then your carrier might not support this feature.
  • Make sure that your device has enough space to receive images and videos.
  • Make sure that you entered the correct phone number or email address for the contact."


We hope this helps.


Take care.
